Flottweg decanters – Reliable and EfficientDecanters in breweries separate trub from the whirlpool underflow. In contrast to stick stack centrifuges, decanters are solid-orientated centrifuges. Therefore, they are able to treat suspensions with a high solids content and to dewater the separated solids to achieve high cake dryness.

Breweries do not only produce beer…Many breweries already profit from the advantages of biological wastewater treatment. Sewage sludge generated can be used for agricultural utilization, incineration, or landfill. Drier sludge after wastewater treatment results in lower costs for sewage sludge disposal regardless of the choice of waste removal.

Like in municipal purification plants, decanters offer many advantages in the purification plants of breweries.

Flottweg decanters for Purification Plants in Breweries:

Lower space requirement and higher performance than filter presses

Closed construction avoids odor emissions

Easy handling and monitoring due to continuous and automatic operation

24 hours operation without personnel monitoring

Low specific energy consumption

Compared to traditional decanter centrifuges, the dewatered sewage is up to 10 % points drier with minimal use of flocculants. The dryness of the chamber filter presses with polymer conditioning is obtained and sometimes exceeded without the addition of lime.

Consistently the same dryness of the dewatered sludge, even when inlet conditions vary
